Um, no.

I know what he was at for the combine and his pro-day. I also know that he put on weight before he reported to the Texans. And I also know that Maneri was 290 when he was claimed by the Pats. He and his agent made a big deal about having put the weight on.
Number of tackles, by itself, is not a gauge of anything. In fact, it's a very over-blown stat since it's been proven that there there are more recorded tackles than there are defensive plays. Anywhere from 50 to 100% more.
Sanders isn't my binky. What he is is someone that you hate and have been proven wrong about by numerous people. Myself included. And you'll not find a single place where I have even remotely compared Sanders to Ronnie Lott.
The reality is that McGowan wasn't that good, especially in pass coverage and it's why he ended up riding the bench at the end of last year. And he wasn't missed this year.
What? You don't want to trade 2 Pro-Bowlers for a 2nd round pick?
It makes loads of sense to trade a Pro Bowl guard and a borderline Pro Bowl safety to draft another guard.

Yeah, cause it's an even up trade, you don't have to pay mankins any more than a drafted guard, right? Duh. More like trade him even up for a guard and 8M in cash per year.
I'm sorry, but the only person who "proved" anything about James Sanders was Sanders himself. He had the best year of his career this year. And that's great. I think those who bashed him should admit it. That said, he's still the #3 safety on this team - which is a perfect role for him.
We can get a few good years out of Bailey and he wants to play Safety. An even older Darren Sharper made e big playmaking difference for the Saints in their SB year. Do you think Cotchery is open by fifteen yards in front of Champ Bailey in that playoff game?
If you were an opposing coach and O coordinator and you wanted to make some serious positive yards, where would you attack? Right down the medium middle of the field against the Pats defense back four. Correct me if I am wrong.
In the last two years, Bailey has had 28 passes defended and 119 tackles. Can we get another two or three years? He seems to think at Safety he can still play at a high level. The neat thing is he can still swing over to CB if we go dime. He appears to be the ultimate professional. Can Sanders play CB?
I do not think Bailey will cost us that much more than the $3m we are paying Sanders this time. You pick!

Fox and Elway have been tap-dancing around Champ. A lot hinges on the collective bargaining agreement. But I have it on good authority that Champ, who wants to come back, will be signed to a four-year deal, think $42 million, or will be designated franchise player for next season.
So you're advocating trading an elite talent and an above-average talent for an unknown. Because that's what a draft pick represents. If Watkins busts, that goes down as highway robbery by the Cowboys; hell, it probably is anyway even if Watkins turns out to be a good player. Because the odds are he'll never be as good as Mankins.
